Thorn Lily Chapter 12 Part 2
Exam in 6 hours. I've finished studying about... a total of 3 pages :D
Suddenly, the telephone rang... and I became aware that I'm in someone else's house. I sat down near the telephone, knees trembling, and picked up the call with a low voice.
"Hello..."
"..........You cried?"
He sounded so worried that I immediately stopped trembling. I could only nod in distress, but then I realized that I was speaking to him through a phone. When I tried to open my mouth, I couldn't speak - tears just kept streaming down my face. Bastard! Why did you have to call!?
"Sob... I hate you, bastard... Sniff..."
"Alright alright, what happened?"
"Sob... Oppa you're the worst! I hate you... sob, idiot.... making me look so haggard!!!!"
"Kim Jaejoong..."
"Sniff.. why did you... sob... why did you leave me behind in this house..."
I whined to him while crying. I could hear him sigh on the other end of the phone. I'm just not used to being alone at home! Did he even feel apologetic about ditching me for his gathering? How could he be so cruel? How could Yunho treat me like this?
"Yunho... sob... Yunho..."
"My Jaejoong... how did it turn out like this today..."
His words were filled with sincerity, and it makes me want to hug him so bad! If only he could appear before me right now. Couldn't he cancel the gathering for me? Isn't Kim Jaejoong his top priority?
"Oppa... sob, I'm hungry... my arm hurts... can you come back? Please?"
"You know I can't... bear with it a little and eat first, hm?"
"Sob, damn it.. I hate you... Hurry up and come back if you want me to eat... alright?"
"I'll be back early! Wait for me, okay...?"
"Yah!! I hate you I hate you!!!! Sob..."
He sighed. It's all because of her right? It really feels so lonely here. I've become a person he can't be seen with, and we have to keep our love affair a secret. The passionate romance I've been looking forward too disappeared in the face of reality. We can't even comfort each other now, which is so frustrating! This is how cruel reality is! It's like a lingering shadow, but at least his voice is still my tranquilizer.
"Tomorrow... you must make it up to me! I'll go rest now... sleep well tonight... okay?"
"Got it. Stay at home like a good boy!"
"I know..."
When I hung up, my crying stopped. He's still the best medicine for stopping tears after all. I regarded the kitchen which looked like a trash dump, and started walking to it, resigned to my fate. I even slipped on some of the water on the ground as I walked! It probably looked comical. I worked hard at restoring the kitchen to its former cleanliness, sweeping the glass shards away and bringing out the trash. All of a sudden the phone rang again; is he checking on me to see if I'd eaten? I rushed to the phone, filled with excitement.
"What is it now? I'm waiting for you like a good boy..."
"......."
"And I ate dinner too..."
What a weird call. Why isn't he saying anything? I could only hear his breathing... wait, this isn't Yunho! He'd never keep quiet when he hears my voice! This silence is suffocating me... one second, two seconds passed... my breath quickened and my throat felt like it was on fire...
"You... you're Jaejoong!?"
Hearing his voice, I tried to match it to the fearsome face that I knew too well. Is it Yunho's big brother? No, he's far too composed. Or his second brother? Probably. He's more quick-tempered.
He probably hates.me, because he thought Jung Eun-ho's death had something to do with me. Compared to how I feel right now, those memories were far more frightening. Am I still dreaming? Is everything I see right now a dream?
"You, Jaejoong! What the hell are you doing there!?"
This is a dream right? So confusing! I hurriedly slammed down the phone, feeling all the hair stand on my body. I ran to the second floor and changed my clothes, stuffing all my clothing and belongings into shopping bags. I tore a hole in one of them in my haste, and my fingers couldn't stop trembling as I searched for a new bag. I have to leave this place as soon as I can...
After packing some simple clothing, I rushed down the stairs as fast as I could but suddenly, a huge shadow surrounded me and blocked my path. It's the uncle who sent me to a sanatorium!
"I'm not going with you...!! Go away!"
"Kim Jaejoong!!!"
"Don't step into my house!"
I can't move at all. The atmosphere was unusually tensed. My uncle sighed; how I hate looking at that face! I'll never be tricked again, no matter what you say! I don't want to look at you! Don't treat me like you're handling a freak. I bristled at him.
"How did you get in?"
"That has nothing to do with you! This is my home!"
"Are you still living in your own world?"
"Ahh!!!!!"
It's not my fault! Don't use this as an excuse to reprimand me! The bad guys next to my uncle surrounded me at his cue, grabbing me and holding me down. I couldn't retaliate at all, as always. I could only scream for help, praying that somehow he'll hear me, and that he'll come to my rescue. He promised me...
"Yunho!!!! ...Come and save me!!! No! Yunho ah!!!"
I'm a good boy, so please don't extinguish the one tiny hope I have left...
